Left Hand Brewing Company's 400 Pound Monkey English-Style India Pale Ale

Pours a yellowish amber with a decent enough light tan head. Slightly grassy, more malt than the last IPA I had, which is a good sign.

Tastes nice, I'm betting this has been laying around a while so I bet it would be better if it was newer. Grassy hops that are fairly moderate, with a lighter body than I would like.

All in all, there's nothing that stands out about this one. Not bad, but not great, just a middle of the road IPA. That's about par for this brewery, from my experience.

Left Hand Brewing Company's Warrior IPA

I'm not sure why I come back to Left Hand beers. I keep hoping for the best, I guess.

Pours an orangish=amber with a decent enough light tan head. Low, slow, carbonation.

Smells decent enough as well. Grassy hops with a sweet malty backbone. It's light for an IPA, but good.

Solid bitter hops hit, but it gets dull awful fast. The aftertaste then turns to a grainy, dark bread flavor. Kind of like a heavier Coors in the aftertaste.

I always associate bombers with big beers that are going to knock you out with hops, or a huge grain bill, or something. This one gives none of that. It has a pop, but it fades instantly and just feels, flat.
